Did the EV US Board consider running an open recruitment process and inviting applications from people outside of their immediate circle? If so, why did it decide against?
The EV US board was (in my opinion) significantly undersized to handle a major operational crisis. I suspect it knew at some point that Rebecca Kagan might be stepping down soon and that existing members might have to recuse from important decisions for various reasons. Thus, it would have been reasonable in my eyes to prioritize getting two new people on ASAP and to defer a broader recruitment effort until further expansion.
